This is a benchmark Barossa Valley red blend with wonderful depth of flavour. Made from grenache, shiraz and mourvedre grapes, it is big and bold but beautifully balanced. Quintessentially Australian. A lovely drink. $40.

This is a stunningly good Clare Valley riesling from a winery that has tended to fly under the radar. There's an aromatic, citrusy nose and a full-on bone dry palate with lemon, lime and zingy tropical fruit flavours. Delicious. $25.
